The use of EPO especially in the high altitudes would put climbers at a huge risk of DVT's, pulmonary embolisms, and as bean said heart attacks. However, I think for climbing down here at our low 14,000 foot mark it may be kick ass

The interview never took place. I think the interviewer was certainly legit, but I asked if it could be done by email. I'm guessing this thread might have scared him off. It wasn't meant to be mailcious though; just a reference to a previous experience.

Yeah he did a write up on my Denali climb and there were numerous mistakes which I tried to correct but still got published. He repeatedly called it the third highest mountain in the world.... among other things. embarrassing.
